NEWTOWN JETS 1981 NRL RETRO JERSEY Relive the most electrifying season in the modern Jets era. In 1981, Newtown delivered a remarkable resurgence under coach Warren Ryan, finishing second on the ladder and storming through the finals - upsetting Eastern Suburbs 15–5 in the preliminary final to reach the grand final for the first time in 26 years. Led by the fearless Tommy Raudonikis, the Jets pushed the Parramatta Eels all the way at the Sydney Cricket Ground, trailing just 7–6 at half-time before ultimately going down 20–11 - a heartbreaking finish to a season that had captured the imagination of the entire rugby league world. With Ken Wilson finishing as the competition's top pointscorer and Ray Blacklock leading the tryscoring charts, this was a squad packed with talent and ticker. Worn during one of the club's greatest ever campaigns, the royal blue and white of this jersey represents the spirit of a club that never stopped fighting. A must-have for any Jets supporter or rugby league collector. Order yours today.
